Osprey87 commented on MSI MAG Z590 TORPEDO Intel ATX Motherboard, $144 Delivered @ Harris Technology via eBay
Just looking at their other options and the MEG Unify is also a good deal. No real reviews I could find but on paper it has an impressive...

Osprey87 replied to hippyhippy on Intel Core i5-12600K 3.70GHz CPU $486.10 + Delivery ($0 with Prime) @ Amazon US via AU
Recommendations are just to stick with DDR4 for now. You don't have to get DDR5. Mobo prices are potentially an issue, but that is...

You can't just straight compare temperatures of CPU's. AMD and Intel actually report internal termperatures differently.

Osprey87 commented on Weber Spirit 2 E310 Barbecue $789 ($110 off) + Delivery ($0 to Melbourne Metro) @ Appliances Online
I have one of these. Better than the Weber Q series (also more expensive). Holds heat really well and stably, you can definitely use it...

Osprey87 replied to MorriJ on No Pull Dog Training Lead $21.86 (Was $31.29) + Delivery ($0 with $99 Spend) @ Doodee Dog
Most modern slip leads have two stoppers. One to stop overtightening, on to stop it coming loose. They even highlight the additonal choking...

Osprey87 replied to m00seTheC0wSnake on No Pull Dog Training Lead $21.86 (Was $31.29) + Delivery ($0 with $99 Spend) @ Doodee Dog
Slip leads should have a stopper on them preventing them from overtightening. They essentially work the same way as a martingale collar....

EVGA now have the most confusing power supply line-up. Some are good, some are really good, some are fairly average and they all sound the...

Osprey87 commented on ASUS TUF GAMING B560-PLUS WIFI Motherboard $209 Delivered ($0 VIC/ NSW C&C) @ Scorptec
That is a good deal. Having that paired with a 11400/f would be a good cheap starter build. Not sure anything else makes a lot of sense in...

Osprey87 commented on [PC] Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition - $23.29 (was $58.19) - GOG
I now have 159 hrs of play time in DOS 2. I'd say it is well worth the $23 here. Lot of entertainment for not a lot of money. Definitely...

EK AIO performs better and comes with or without RGB for a cheaper price. Arctic Freezer II is also a better performer and cheaper but does...

Osprey87 replied to keyboardwarrior on [eBay Plus] AMD Ryzen 5 5600X AM4 CPU OEM Tray Version $395.10 Delivered @ Metrocom eBay
5800 should perform very close to a 5800x. There's a 100mhz boost clock difference on paper but with PBO this difference might not actually...

Osprey87 replied to Michael15286 on Deepcool Assassin III Dual Tower 280W CPU Cooler $89 (Free Pickup) + Delivery @PLE
You'd also be better off running an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280. But since both of those options are $160 it's not exactly a fair...

Osprey87 commented on Dell G5 Gaming Desktop PC with RTX 3070 & Intel i7-10700F CPU $2,231 Delivered @ Dell
The G5 series isn't built particularly well. See the teardown from Gamers Nexus. Given the current market you might not care too much about...

Osprey87 replied to cille745 on ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 All-in-One CPU Water Cooler $199 Delivered @ Techo Greek via Amazon AU
Covered in the video linked. There's a -0.2c delta at 35 dBA noise normalised. So performance is the same.

Osprey87 commented on ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 All-in-One CPU Water Cooler $199 Delivered @ Techo Greek via Amazon AU
EK AIO 360 without the RGB is cheaper and will perfom about the same. Good alternative to the Arctic 360 if stock is running low etc....

PSU's actually last quite a long time. It is not uncommon to see ten year warranties on PSU's from top manufacturers now. I looked and the...

Osprey87 commented on NZXT Kraken Z63 280mm LCD AIO Liquid CPU Cooler $299 + Shipping or Pickup @ Mwave

Arguably yes. I think people will buy the 11700K and Z590 when it releases for the same reason. Even though currently you can get a 10850K...
